The complex numbers are an important part of quantum theory, but are difficult to motivate from a theoretical perspective. We describe a simple formal framework for theories of physics, and show that if a theory of physics presented in this manner satisfies certain completeness properties, then it necessarily includes the complex numbers as a mathematical ingredient. Central to our approach are the techniques of category theory, and we introduce a new category-theoretical tool, called the...

We describe how dagger-Frobenius monoids give the correct categorical description of certain kinds of finite-dimensional 'quantum algebras'. We develop the concept of an involution monoid, and use it to construct a correspondence between finite-dimensional C*-algebras and certain types of dagger-Frobenius monoids in the category of Hilbert spaces. Using this technology, we recast the spectral theorems for commutative C*-algebras and for normal operators into an explicitly categorical language,...

We propose a 2-categorical formalism for describing classical information, quantum systems, and their interactions, based on the principle that classical information can be encoded as correlations between quantum systems. Applying this in the 2-category of 2-Hilbert spaces recovers ordinary quantum theory. The formalism gives a simple, graphical way to describe the specification and implementation of certain quantum procedures, which we use to investigate quantum teleportation, dense coding,...

We use a categorical topological semantics to examine the Deutsch-Jozsa, hidden subgroup and single-shot Grover algorithms. This reveals important structures hidden by conventional algebraic presentations, and allows novel proofs of correctness via local topological operations, giving for the first time a satisfying high-level explanation for why these procedures work. We also investigate generalizations of these algorithms, providing improved analyses of those already in the literature, and a...

This paper describes how the structure of the state space of the quantum harmonic oscillator can be described by an adjunction of categories, that encodes the raising and lowering operators into a commutative comonoid. The formulation is an entirely general one in which Hilbert spaces play no special role. Generalised coherent states arise through the hom-set isomorphisms defining the adjunction, and we prove that they are eigenstates of the lowering operators. Surprisingly, generalised...
